Question

you perform an experiment in which you take 16 pots of strawberry plants and give half of them 1 gram of ammonium nitrate (nh₄no₃) per liter of water and the other half receive only water. each group is then split in half again, and exposed to either eight or 16 hours of light each day. you monitor the height of the plants for four weeks. you observe that plants grown in ammonium nitrate and 16 hours of light grow taller than no ammonium nitrate and eight hours of light. organisms require energy to grow, reproduce, and survive. what is the energy source for the plants in your experiment? options: ammonium nitrate, light, water, soil, carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Plants produce energy for growth via photosynthesis, where light energy is converted into chemical energy. Ammonium nitrate, water, soil, and carbon dioxide are nutrients or reactants, but not the direct energy source.

Answer:

light
